my grandma always bakes me a couple dozen (or three) and then gives me some penut brittle as well. I blame her for these love handles I've developed!

Inlaws bought a Wii a while ago, and loved it so much they bought one for each of their daughters. Good thing I married one!

My lovely wife always bought me a VERY nice and VERY expensive watch :).

Received some nice gifts but none matched spending Christmas up north at my sons house at the lake, with him & his wife and my daughter & husband and our granddaughters.

What a good time it was. :mrgreen: It was sure cold for a couple days. Can you tell we just came in from down at the lake @ -40. :lol:

Timmie's gift cards!! :lol: We're not really big on big ticket presents for the big people, for us Christmas is for the kids. :) On another note though I'm now in the market for selling my house and moving into a warehouse just to house the ridiculous amount of toy diggers, dumptrucks, bobcats, excavators that the boys got. My house is officially a disaster zone.

Christmas here seems to be more for the pets and children as well. My dog got a new bed, some chew toys and treats...my tortoises are getting a new room...yep room. It measures about 8X12 and will have lots of burrows, heat bulbs etc. They'll need it when they're pusing 200 lbs (in a couple years LOL)

Same for us...Christmas is for the kids. The TW(Trophy Wife) and myself said no gifts this years between the two of us. So Lincoln(8 month old son) bought her a diamond necklace.. :razz: and I got a GC for Timms too, that will keep me rolling in coffee for quite awhile. Lincoln was a little spoiled from us as it was his first Christmas and neither grandparents are really into spoiling their grandkids. :sad: Even our fur kid got a new ball, some stuffed teddys, and s bunch of bull sticks..

What!? Isn't that what grandparents are for? I know my grandparents spoiled me rotten and my Mom spoils my sisters kids like crazy! I've never heard of a grandparent that didn't spoil their grand kid, at least a little bit. Heck, I even spoiled my oldest niece and got her an ipod for Christmas.

I got some new socks.

As a kid getting socks and underwear was a groaner, today I look forward to Christmas socks.
